All these articles are shown in working order in the exhibit and eight of the in- jectors are used to feed the battery of Heine boilers in the power house. Manager Johnson and representative Lee are in charge. One of the important exhibits in the transportation build- ing has been overlooked by the REvIEw. It is located in section V, column 13, andis made up of corrugated furnaces, welded steel steam pipes and other specialties manufactured by the ~ ~ wie " cylinder pressures as high as 900 pounds. One pair of the indi- cators exhibited was given a gold medal at the Paris exposition. The whistles shown range in size from 2 to 12 in. and are the single bell chime patented by Crosby. A boiler testing appara- tus suitable for boiler shops can be seen in the illustration. Water columns, steam gages and dials, revolution counters, lubricators and safety valves form an importaht part of the dis- play made by this well known concern. It is worth while to note the name and make of injectors EXHIBIT OF DEGRAUW, AYMAR & CO., NEW YORK, N. Y. Continental Iron Works, Brooklyn, N. Y. As these furnaces are used in the boilers of a large number of lake steamers and also in naval vessels, the exhibit is worthy of attention from marine men. ; H. R.

They reach from the Libbey glass factory on the Midway plais- ance to the U. S. war ship in the lake, and from the United States Wind Engine and Pump Company exhibit to the last lagoon that the steam launches traverse.
